About the Item

Artwork sold in perfect condition Zoological Park Portfolio, 8 photos Still not a single human being in this portfolio, only representatives of the animal kingdom, confined, sad, emaciated, as if overwhelmed by their imprisonment. But if he himself is not visible, the mark of the dominant is there, through the bars, fences, sordid or ridiculous enclosures he has built for his prey. Want to free them and cultivate your own freedom? Or overwhelmed by the fate reserved for this planet by the arrogant human species? Everyone will find here something to strengthen their convictions. This is the whole process of the artist. From left to right and top to bottom: Antwerp 1983, Antwerp 1980, Lisbon 1981, Lisbon 1982, Krefeld 1983, Lisbon 1982, Cologne 1979, Lisbon 1981. 8 baryta prints 24 cm x 30 cm mounted under a white frame of 40 cm x 50 cm format, 2 mm thick with the artist's stamp on the back. This constitutes a very exceptional offer. German photographer Jörg Krichbaum is clearly one of the "greats" of his generation. He is appreciated not only in his country but also in Italy, Belgium or France. His work, his artistic discourse, cannot be caught at first glance, because they cannot be seen in a single shot, but when they are presented in sets that have become coherent despite their disparities. This is what led the artist to accept as many exhibitions as possible. Following his death in 2002, his beneficiaries choose to preserve and protect this photographic archive, but do not give it the visibility it deserves. It was only in 2016 that an inventory and analysis work began in Brussels, when these archives were entrusted to Brussels Art Edition. Today, those in charge of the Krichbaum Fund are determined to transfer this archive as soon as possible to a European cultural organization (museum, specialized library, etc.) in order to ensure its final conservation and presentation to the public. Before this transfer, the curator and the beneficiaries have chosen to give the opportunity to great amateurs and collectors to acquire thematic “portfolios”, all made up of original silver prints, of exceptional quality, on baryta paper, with very rich midtones and really dense blacks. They are all signed and dated by the artist himself, all authenticated by the curator. Prints so rare that they can be considered unique pieces, even if some were printed in 2 or 3 copies in the 1980s and 90s. The detailed biography of the artist can be found on Wikipedia, his books and catalogs of his exhibitions are still for sale on the Internet (by Amazon and others), everything allows the enthusiast to verify for himself that the today's offer is truly exceptional.

Gardens (2) - Coffret Prestige # 9 , 1979 - Minimalist Black & White Photography
By Jörg Krichbaum
Located in Brussels, BE
Artwork sold in perfect condition - Portfolio Garden 2, 6 photos (Box 40x50cm included) From Germany to Portugal, from Portugal to Italy, the artist continues his research on light and its games, this time taking nature and trees as the theme. The black and white, the strong intensity of the contrasts, the immobility that seems to emerge from them, all combine to suggest that the vegetation has also mineralized, frozen, under the ascetic gaze of the artist. But put together, close together (which is the very principle of Jörg Krichbaum...

Step by Step - Coffret Prestige # 1, 1973 Minimalist Black and White Photography
By Jörg Krichbaum
Located in Brussels, BE
Step by Step - Coffret Prestige # 1 - Portfolio of 6 photos, 21st Century, Minimalist Black and White Photography Artwork sold in perfect condition Portfolio Step by Step, 6 photos. Steps, a ladder, almost all from the bottom to the top, to show you are climbing. Or ? It's up to everyone to decide, to think about which metaphor they prefer. But it's still a personal matter. For some it will be happy, easy or joyful, while for others, Jörg says in a text written in 1982, the image will refer to a painful memory, a painful sensation, an ordeal. Because this image is "us", it is only us but it is all of us. 6 baryta prints 24 cm x 30 cm mounted under a white open-frame 2mm thick in 40 cm x 50 cm format with the artist's stamp on the back. From left to right and top to bottom: Munich 1979, Munich 1982, Munich 1979, Liège 1982, Donaustauf 1973, Anagni 1977. This constitutes a very exceptional offer. German photographer Jörg Krichbaum...
